Plumbing
View full service detailsYour plumbers can't answer the phone when they're under a sink.
Emergency calls, burst pipe calls, water heater failures — these come in while your crew is on another job. Every call that goes unanswered is a homeowner calling the next plumber on the list.
A plumbing company missing 6 calls per week at $700 average job value is losing $2,800–$4,500 in recoverable revenue every month.

How it works
An urgent call comes in mid-job
A homeowner has a burst pipe, failed water heater, or backed-up drain. They call your number. Your crew is on another job and the phone rings out to voicemail.
Automatic text fires in under 60 seconds
Before the caller can find the next plumber on Google, an automatic SMS goes out: 'Hey, we just missed your call. Tell us what's going on and we'll be back with you fast.' The lead is still yours.
Lead replies and gets routed to your team
The homeowner texts back their situation. Your team gets notified with the lead's name, number, and what they need — ready to call back and book.
What you can expect
Plumbing companies using Missed Call Rescue typically recover 30–50% of missed leads in the first month. Emergency and same-day calls — the highest-value plumbing jobs — have the highest recovery rate.
Common questions
Why do plumbing companies lose so many leads to missed calls?
Plumbers are physically on jobs — under sinks, in crawl spaces, at job sites — and physically cannot answer their phones. The leads that call during those windows go to the next number on Google if they don't get an immediate response.
What is the best way for plumbers to respond to missed calls?
An automatic text-back within 60 seconds is the fastest and most effective response. It keeps the lead in your pipeline without requiring anyone to be at a desk. Most homeowners will reply by text if they get a prompt, friendly message before they move on.
Can missed call text back handle emergency plumbing calls?
Yes — and emergency calls are exactly where it delivers the most value. A homeowner with a burst pipe who calls and gets an immediate text acknowledging their situation is far more likely to wait for your callback than to call a stranger they found in the next Google search.
